Merge tag 'printk-for-5.19' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/printk/linux
Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek:
- Offload writing printk() messages on consoles to per-console
kthreads.
It prevents soft-lockups when an extensive amount of messages is
printed. It was observed, for example, during boot of large systems
with a lot of peripherals like disks or network interfaces.
It prevents live-lockups that were observed, for example, when
messages about allocation failures were reported and a CPU handled
consoles instead of reclaiming the memory. It was hard to solve even
with rate limiting because it would need to take into account the
amount of messages and the speed of all consoles.
It is a must to have for real time. Otherwise, any printk() might
break latency guarantees.
The per-console kthreads allow to handle each console on its own
speed. Slow consoles do not longer slow down faster ones. And
printk() does not longer unpredictably slows down various code paths.
There are situations when the kthreads are either not available or
not reliable, for example, early boot, suspend, or panic. In these
situations, printk() uses the legacy mode and tries to handle
consoles immediately.
- Add documentation for the printk index.
